Selecting a cross pattern for your wheels is critical in terms of ride quaility. Our shop personally recommends a 3 cross pattern for wheels, because of its overall strength and durability. 2 cross uses a shorter spoke which equates to less weight and increased lateral stability, but decreased durability.2 Cross is not recommended for riders 180+ LBS

Description

Every set of wheels we turn out is built completely by hand to your specifications using DT spokes. From lacing and tensioning, to stress-relieving, re-tensioning and final truing, we take great pride in building the finest wheels available. Please select the drilling, spoke gauge and the spoke nipple that you desire. Tires, tubes and rimstrips are optional additions offered at a 10% savings when you buy a custom wheel.
Our wheel builders recommend using 14/15 gauge double butted spokes and alloy nipples on this rear wheel. You'll reduce the rolling weight by approximately 50 grams with virtually no reduction in strength.

Please allow 5-7 working days for all custom built wheels prior to ship.
